DISH-DRIER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 24, 1906.

Application filed August 26,1905. Serial No. 275,978.

To (LZZ whom it may concern:

The object of my invention is to produce a f drier simple and cheap in construction, but eflective; and with this and other ob ects in view my invention consists of the parts and combination of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter pointed out.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a drier embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the base detached. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the dishholder. Fig. l is a detail view of the wires forming the bottom of the holder.

1 represents the rectangular base, the side edges of which are turned down at right angles to form legs 2, thereby forming a support for the base and holding it some distance above a stove-top to provide for the circulation of air between said base and the top of the stove. The base is provided with an opening 3, shown as circular in the drawings.

4 is the dish-holder, which tapers from bottom to top and is adapted to fit snugly within the opening 3 in the base 1. The inclined sides of the holder act on the principle of a wedge in the opening 3 of the base, thus forming a close looking or wedging connection between the two members, which serves to hold them firmly together and prevents the holder from falling over. The holder is perforated, as at 5, throughout its area to provide a circulation of air within the holder and permit the escape of moisture or steam from the holder, that rises from the dishes in drying. The bottom of the holder is partially closed by a series of crossed wires 6, radiating from the center, the ends of the wires Be it known that I, JENNIE DALY, a citizen 5 of the United States, residing at Waverly, in l the county of Tioga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in DishDriers, of which the fol- 1 being split, as at 7, whereby they may be readily secured to the sides of the holder by solder or some other suitable medium. The holder and base are secured together and then placed upon a stove. \Vet dishes are then placed in the holder, the lowermost dishes resting upon the wires 6. The heat from the stove passes up through the holder and with the steam and moisture from the drying dishes passes out at the top of the holder and through the perforations in the sides. This creates a draft which sucks air under the support from each end, which becomes heated under the support and passes up through the holder and in contact with the dishes, thus drying them. As will be seen, the open ends of the support permit a free circulation of air through the holder and among the dishes.

W ll-at I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a dish-drier, the combination with a support open at each end, and provided with an opening in its top, of a dish-holder having an open bottom adapted to [it in said opening.

2. In a dish-drier, the UOlllbil'lzttlOIl with a support open at each end and provided with an opening in its top, of a dishholder having an open bottom and perforatml sides, said i holder being supported in the opening in said support.

In a dish-drier, the combination with a base having an opening in its top, legs depending from the side of said base, of a tapering holder having perforations throughout its area, said holder being constructed to fit within the opening in the base and a series of wires having split ends secured within and forming the bottom of said holder.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
